Notice of public hearing.
Summary
By notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on September 25, 1998 (63 FR 51404), FRA proposed revisions to the regulations governing steam locomotive inspections and maintenance. In that proposed rule, FRA announced that it did not intend to schedule a public hearing regarding this proposal absent a specific request to do so. During the period for written comments, FRA received several requests for a public hearing to address issues raised by this proposal. FRA now intends to hold a public hearing to provide interested parties the opportunity to comment on the proposed revisions contained in the NPRM. This document announces the public hearing.
